Muta Enjoys an Elegant Visual Language by the branding people

— December 29, 2018 — Luxury
Design identities are incredibly important and Muta is a brand that successfully leverages its elegant visual language to signify its dedication to quality and sophisticated style. Its offerings — handmade goods that feature 100% natural leather, are slick, luxurious and minimalist. As a result, the branding people — a Mexico City-based design studio, leverages the already established brand aesthetic to produce an identity that will surely make an impression.

The elegant visual language signifies “an exploration of traditions and technique of various indigenous cultures.” The main subject matter concerns transformation, a type of growth, getting from point a to point b. For the palette, the branding people tapped the tonalities of leather, the font provides a subtle contrast, while the overall language of visualization “reflects the dynamism and the change of state that the objects suffer.”
